As the saying goes, "When you are full and warm, you will think about lust; when you are hungry and cold, you will think about stealing."
It is said that this sentence was said by classmate Meng Xiaoke.
The specific central meaning does not need to be summarized by the teacher. Everyone probably knows it. In other words, as long as it is an individual, no one is a good bird.
Those who have enough to eat will think of ways to have mistresses, raise mistresses, and use human instinct to reproduce as much as possible.
Not to mention the guys who don't have enough to eat. In order to solve the concrete and great global problem of survival, they come up with bad ideas, such as stealing something in the middle of the night, or getting a knife and doing something.
There is no business anymore or something like that.
This is understandable, after all, these are the instincts that humans have developed over tens of thousands of years in order to survive and reproduce. Anyone who does not have this instinct has basically been eliminated by the law of "survival of the fittest" in nature.
As an outstanding representative figure of mankind, Lord Lorraine is no exception even though he is extraordinary and is known as "knowing five hundred years before and five thousand years later".
After eating and drinking, Lord Lorraine's mind inevitably started to move again.
Thinking about Adeline and Deipole, who were left to Belen for resettlement, Lorraine thought it was time to go see them in the afternoon. Dragging a big trouble, they suddenly came to a strange, even unfriendly environment.
Deling must be feeling very uneasy.
Generally, under such circumstances, it is easy to take advantage of the situation.
Moreover, for the sake of fairness, Lorraine kept making excuses in her mind to comfort herself, "I am doing this for work."
Doesn’t that guy named Bond work like this too?
Killing people, setting fires, and sleeping with Meimei. Of course, the most important thing is to use the last method, so that in those critical moments of life and death, the earth can be saved and world peace can be maintained.
When Lorraine thought of this, her eyes couldn't help but roll around, desperately trying to find an excuse.
Just before he could think of an excuse, he saw Adele stretching out her slender hand, patting her bright red mouth, dozing off, curling up lazily on a chair, and saying:
"I'm going to catch up on my sleep. I've slept so hard that I haven't had a good sleep in two months. I'm exhausted."
Sleepiness can be contagious, not to mention that Catherine, like Adele, fought with Lorraine all night and did not get a good rest. She was also a little dizzy and so on. Therefore, she couldn't help but yawn and hit Lorraine's chest.
Shoulder, said: "Don't bother us in the afternoon, I want to sleep too."
Hilmeria naturally wanted to stand on the same side as Catherine and Adele. When she saw Lorraine looking over her, she nodded and said softly: "Me too."
Lorraine knows very well how powerful these women are. Once they discover something is wrong, the consequences will be very serious.
As a saint, Hilmeria usually secretly reads some banned books behind her back, but she must have come from the Holy See, and she is always diligent in her ideological work. She usually seems to be "serving the public and destroying selfishness, and selfless dedication to glory"
Ah, there's no such thing as studying. My thoughts are pure and I don't have so many weird thoughts.
But the other two are absolutely different.
Catherine's delicate body trembled, and she lost her domineering aura. She must be able to do things like wooden horses, candles, and whips.
Needless to say, Adele will definitely be like a white-bone spirit, knocking on the bones and sucking out the marrow, until no trace of herself is left.
Therefore, although he was happy in his heart, he forced himself to calm down and tried his best to make his tone full of disappointment. "That's it... then, I will just go to Belen in the afternoon to find out what happened recently.
Already."
As soon as Lorraine came back, Leo had someone to support him again. It was as if he had found an organization, and he no longer paid attention to Catherine's discipline. You know, Leo had been frustrated in the past two months.
At this time, when he heard Lorraine say that he was going out, Leo immediately threw the things in his hands, jumped up, and said loudly: "What? Where are you going? I'm going too."
Catherine glared at Leo and said, "You are making noises without even hearing what you are saying. Please give me some peace of mind."
Leo glanced sideways at Catherine, snorted, raised his little head, and looked like "What can you do to me?" Then he said in a long voice: "No~!"
After speaking, he stretched out his hand to pluck his eyelids, then stuck out his tongue and made a big grimace to Catherine.
If it were like usual, this would be the trigger for another war. At the very least, Catherine would grab Leo and give him a good meal.
But since Lorraine came back, Catherine's endocrine system has naturally been straightened out. Once it was straightened out, her mood became very good, and she was actually a little tired at the moment. She was in such a good mood that she didn't want to argue with Leo, so she just gave a slight glance.
Xiaozui ignored him.
Lorraine didn't want a tail following behind her, especially since this tail was a notorious big mouth.
If Leo comes back and says: Today I went out with Boss Lorraine and met a very young woman. That woman looked very pretty. And the Boss did some very strange things with that woman...
According to the temperament of these women who dare to raid high-end clubs in Ruman City, Lord Lorraine will at least shed his skin.
Lorraine said calmly: "Hey, Leo, didn't you want Vera to teach you how to train a baby elephant this afternoon?"
Leo said "Ah" and then remembered his plan. He looked at Vera and then at Lorraine. Leo suddenly felt troubled.
Vera suddenly saw the baby elephant, as if she had got an interesting toy, and was reluctant to let go. After hearing what Lorraine said, she immediately nodded with a smile, bumped Leo on the shoulder, and said: "Let's go with the baby elephant this afternoon.
Play, come on, Leo."
Melina looked at Leo eagerly and said crisply: "Leo, let's play with Sister Vera this afternoon."
Leo was still hesitant. He hadn't gone out with Lorraine for a long time, and he was almost getting moldy from being bored in the Governor's Mansion all day long. Playing with the elephants with Melina was very attractive to Leo.
Melina looked at Leo, pouted dissatisfied, and said, "Leo, Brother Lorraine has something serious to do."
Then Milena grabbed Leo's arm, with a bright smile on her face, but her beautiful eyes glared fiercely, and said: "Don't bother Brother Lorraine."
When Lorraine saw Leo's face, he suddenly became strange. His little face was tense and he looked aggrieved. Looking at the actions of Leo and Melina, combined with his own experience, Lorraine knew that Meilin
Na stepped on Leo's feet under the table.
Leo managed to hold back a flattering smile and said to Milena, "Okay, I'll play with you in the afternoon."
Milena patted Leo's head, smiled and said, "Be good."
Then she pursed her lips and gave Leo a kiss on the cheek. When Leo touched the cheek that Melina had kissed, he was so happy that his mouth was grinning to his ears. He looked so happy that he couldn't find any reason for it.
.
Lorraine watched Milena twisting Leo around and thought to herself: Hit a stick and give him a date. How old is Milena, and she knows such advanced slave skills?
Lorraine, Catherine, Adele and the other four girls looked at each other. Then Lorraine curled her lips and glared at Adele. Adele covered her small mouth with her green-green fingertips and smiled very cunningly.
Catherine leaned her head over, put her little mouth to Lorraine's ear, and whispered: "If this brother of mine is even half as capable, I would be relieved."
Lorraine could only look at Leo sympathetically, and thought to herself: You are unlucky, I am at most 1v2, but you are 1v5, it is strange that you can get a favor.
Then Lorraine bit Catherine's ear and replied: "If you goblins didn't give Melina advice behind her back, she might not be able to defeat Leo."
Catherine punched Lorraine and whispered: "How can you men be so proud?"
Lorraine's ears were itched by Catherine's hot breath, and her heart was also itching. She lowered her eyes and glanced at the snow-white and delicate skin exposed from Catherine's loose home clothes, recalling the warm and jade-like feel.
Lorraine suddenly didn't want to leave.
Vera threw away the teacup in her hand, jumped down from the chair, patted Leo and Melina, raised her arms and shouted: "Let's go."
Like a child king, Vera led Leo and Melina and rushed out of the restaurant.
When Leo and Melina left the restaurant, Catherine saw Lorraine's increasingly intense gaze, and finally couldn't bear it anymore. She covered her clothes, reached out and pinched Lorraine's waist hard, then stood up and said:
"I'm going to bed. Don't disturb me until dinner."
Adele also stretched out, patted Hilmeria on the shoulder, and pulled her Tingting out of the restaurant. On the way out, she turned back to give Lorraine a wink and said: "You can come before dinner.
Excuse me."
Then he blew a kiss to Lorraine and then went upstairs.
Lorena crossed her legs and put one arm on the back of the chair, like a lazy cat, squinting her eyes and raising her head, slumped softly on the chair.
Lorraine looked at Lorena and said curiously: "Lolina, don't you do something."
Luo Linna glanced at Lorraine and said: "The sun is so bright. If I don't go to sleep, I will be sorry for such a good weather. If you do something bad, just go quickly. And..."
When she was about to go out, Lorena turned around and said to Lorraine with a smile: "Don't touch the wrong door when you go upstairs."
Lorraine shrugged and thought to himself: I still have a good life to enjoy, do I dare? But when he saw her graceful back, he thought of something, and his heart jumped suddenly - was she hinting at something?
?
When everyone in the restaurant was gone, Lorraine felt guilty and sneaked out of the Governor's Palace and came to the headquarters of the venture capital company.
He went straight to Belen's office, opened the door and walked in carelessly.
Belen looked like he had been waiting for a long time and was sitting in the office obediently. Seeing Lorraine come in, he jumped up from his chair and said: "Sir, you are here."
Lorraine nodded and asked: "The two ladies yesterday..."
The way Belen looked at Lorraine, it was clear that he was a timid playboy who had a mistress but was afraid that his wife would find out, and was usually cautious.
Wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh, Beren said sternly: "Everything has been arranged. According to your instructions, the place is secret and safe. You can rest assured. But... there is also a little problem."
Lorraine was stunned and asked anxiously: "What's the problem?"
Beren shrugged and said: "One of the ladies is unconscious. I said at that time that I wanted to find a doctor or a priest, but Miss Lingna insisted not to do it. Sir, you should persuade Miss Lingna."
Lorraine said "hmm" and said, "I'll ask her what's going on. Is there anything else?"
Beren quickly shook his head and said, "No, Miss Lingna is very cooperative and considerate of us."
Lorraine smiled and said: "Take me to see it. I have some things that I need to know from those two ladies."
"My lord, follow me."
Belen led Lorraine from the back door of the venture capital company's headquarters to the alley. After a few steps, Belen opened a small door, nodded to the concierge guarding the door, and led Lorraine away.
Go in.
Lorraine looked around at the door and found that it was obviously a garden, with shadows of trees and flowers everywhere, and a small pond in the middle. Under the cover of the trees, there were two small buildings not far away.
The whole yard is very delicately tidied. Looking at the small building in the distance, you can tell that it is worth a lot of money.
After Lorraine turned her head and looked around, she smiled at Belen and said: "The venture capital company seems to be prospering in your hands. How long has it been before such a big industry has been created?"
Belen said modestly: "The policies you formulated are better, my lord. I don't have any business acumen. I am good at spending money, but I am not good at making money. These are all things copied from those slave traders."
Lorraine said "Oh" clearly. One of the main tasks of Belen's venture capital company is to detect and hunt down slave traders and smugglers.
Both types of people are engaged in brain-destroying activities, but they are also activities that make a lot of money, especially since the people who do these activities know that they may die at any time, and they live a life of drunkenness and dreams, and spend all their money on
Enjoy the above.
After Beren captured these slave traders, he naturally ransacked their homes. Instead of letting these confiscated items be lost to the guards and officials at all levels, and enriching the worms who were lining their pockets, it would be better to seize these confiscated items.
In his own hands, at least the venture capital company is still a director, and Lorraine is still very useful to him.
The word "floating away" is very important. This is different from corruption. The people below put things in their pockets openly, and then report that they "floated away" or "flooded" due to force majeure.
People can't even check it. Why, do you want to pick up the ones that were washed away and those that sank into the sea and count them?
Even the American army in World War II, which represented the hope of mankind, the backbone of the just cause, and the mainstay of the free world, and which is always glorious and positive in all war movies, also has a deeply lost tradition.
"Band of Brothers" even makes it very clear: after the items were shipped from the United States on a cargo ship, the battalion responsible for unloading the goods at the port took away part of it, and the battalion responsible for railway transportation took some of the best candies and beer, and then put these
Listed as "damaged",
The truck drivers took away boxes of "Lucky Cigarettes" (a good brand), and then the quartermaster officers in the division, the quartermasters in the regiment, and the quartermaster staff in the battalion took away the best stuff. If the frontline infantry
You'll be lucky to get No. C dry food and Raleigh cigarettes.
In the same way, if Lorraine hands over the confiscated finances to the administrative system for cleaning and selling, you will soon find that many items that should have appeared on the registration form have disappeared, ranging from jewelry and porcelain to furniture.
carriage.
And if you ask, the officials in charge of these things can always find reasons. From rats to meteors, from geological disasters to demon invasions, they are all legitimate excuses.
With a stroke of pen, something that was supposed to be worth ten thousand might be discounted in half, and it is normal to even end up with only 30%.
After a while, you will find that these things appear intact on the black market or in someone's home. When Lorraine ransacked the Almohad house, she was very good at it, except for those things that she really couldn't get rid of.
Yes, he basically eats all the meat himself, not even leaving a few mouthfuls of soup for others, otherwise Lorraine's reputation would not be so loud in Almohad.
Since he was an expert in the "floating technique", Lorraine naturally couldn't let others take advantage of him. All these things went into the pockets of the venture capital companies as they were. Belen only needed to give some trouble to the people who assisted them.
Just pay.
After all, venture capital companies are different from other departments. It is still a semi-private organization, but this private person is the Flying Eagle Group under the royal banner. If you want these people to work for you, of course, you must make them feel it is worth it.
, does high salary support integrity?
Even Sun Tzu wrote a single chapter asking for monthly votes, ah no... when talking about the importance of spies, he also said: "In matters involving the three armies, no one should be close to each other, no rewards should be generous, and no affairs should be kept secret."
This means that Belen and his gang are the ones who have the closest relationship with Lorraine, are the ones with the highest salary, and are the most confidential in their affairs.
Lorraine was very satisfied with the exquisite courtyard in front of her and said with a smile: "Okay, it's very good. Of course, the more the better for a good asset like this. If it's not so good, you can just cash in on the hot one. Is it an investment company? Originally
This is what we do.”
Beren thought to himself: This uncle really dares to say whatever he wants.
Then he nodded and said: "I don't mind, please don't worry, sir. Besides, don't we also have the deputy general manager, Mr. Goblin Shajin, who is good at doing these things."
Lorraine smiled and waved her hands, noncommittal.
When they arrived not far from the house, Beren stopped and said: "Sir, the two ladies will stay in front for the time being. I won't go there. There are a lot of things in the headquarters, so I will go back first. When you go back, there will be someone there."
I'll show you the way."
Lorraine was startled for a moment, then saw Beren pretending to be serious, Lorraine patted her forehead and said: "It's not what you think, forget it..."
"Yes, sir" Beren nodded with a smile, turned around and walked away.
Lorraine also knew that her mysterious approach made this matter unclear, but this matter could not be explained. She shrugged helplessly, and Lorraine walked inside.
After walking around a tree wall, Lorraine saw Adeline, who was half lying on a chair, in a daze.
